In the context of Acts 1:8, where Jesus tells His disciples they will be His witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth, we can apply these locations to our modern-day lives symbolically.
- Jerusalem can represent our immediate surroundings – our homes, workplaces, schools, and communities – where we have the most direct influence.
- Judea can symbolize our broader sphere of influence, such as our cities, regions, or countries.
- Samaria could represent reaching out to people different from us, crossing barriers of culture, race, or beliefs.
- Finally, going to the ends of the earth can encompass global missions, sharing the love of Christ with people from diverse nations and cultures.
In today’s context, how do you see yourself being a witness in your Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth? Please share in the comment section below.
